[VB.NET] Convert a string to an image

2012-12-05

Question

Hi all,

I would like to convert a string in an image.

For example, I have a string that contains a path to an image and I'd like to insert that image in a PictureBox, so I need to convert it to a System.Drawing.Image.

I've tried to follow the forum solution at: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/00da653f-7291-42c0-a0e7-34f4ce1a85b4/ but Visual Studio get me a lot of errors and I can't find the namespace System.Windows.Media.Imaging (maybe it's only for WPF?).

Please help me

Here's another way of doing it from a file

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
        PictureBox1.Load("C:\Users\John\Desktop\Test1.png")
        
        Dim bitmap As New Bitmap("C:\Users\John\Desktop\Picture Files\Crossbones BMP.Bmp")
        ToolStripButton2.Image = CType(bitmap, System.Drawing.Image)
    End Sub

    Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click

    End Sub

    Private Sub ToolStrip1_ItemClicked(sender As Object, e As ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles ToolStrip1.ItemClicked

    End Sub
End Class

You've taught me everything I know but not everything you know.

Thank you!

But if I would like to set the image in the "Image" property of a ToolstripButton?

First add the image as a resource to your application then

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
        PictureBox1.Load("C:\Users\John\Desktop\Test1.png")
        ToolStripButton1.Image = My.Resources.Crossbones_BMP
    End Sub

    Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click

    End Sub

    Private Sub ToolStrip1_ItemClicked(sender As Object, e As ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles ToolStrip1.ItemClicked

    End Sub
End Class

You've taught me everything I know but not everything you know.

Thanks Mr.Monkeyboy, but that's not what I'm searching for, because I would like, if it's possible, to add the image to a ToolStripButton from the string that contains the filename.

Bye ;)

The most simple one for a windows forms is is.

Picturebox1.Image = Image.FromFile("Path")

Success
